Despite nothing being confirmed, it may be more likely than ever before that Élodie Yung could be returning as Elektra Natchios in Daredevil: Born Again. Yung herself has suggested several times that she would be happy to reprise the role, and since The Defenders left her fate uncertain, it’s very possible that she could return.

Most recently, Yung spoke to toofab and suggested that she would love to return, but that they’d need to “Ask Mr. Marvel.” This certainly leaves the door open for her return, and Marvel Studios may be more inclined to bring her back after recent developments. Following the creative overhaul of Daredevil: Born Again after 2023’s WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, many actors from Marvel Television’s Daredevil were confirmed to be returning in Daredevil: Born Again.

The Defenders Saga was officially introduced into the MCU canon, suggesting that Daredevil’s story will properly continue in Born Again, and the returns of Deborah Ann Woll’s Karen Page, Elden Henson’s Foggy Nelson, Wilson Bethel’s Benjamin Poindexter, a.k.a. Bullseye, and Ayelet Zurer’s Vanessa Fisk prove that Born Again is practically Daredevil season 4. The fact that Elektra’s story may be unfinished means she would make an excellent addition to Born Again.
